The 15th annual Green Mountain Boys machine gun shoot took place last weekend in Eden, Vermont. It reported an approximate 60 percent attendance rate compared to years before the COVID-19 outbreak.
THE SHOW MUST GO ON

The event has taken place without fail every July since 2003 at Camp David, a shooting range deep in the woods near Eden, Vermont. It is organized by David Villeneuve, his family, and a group of dedicated volunteers. They invite like-minded people to come together, get some serious trigger time, and celebrate the Second Amendment.
Shooters from as far away as California rent spaces along the firing line. They bring an assortment of guns including rare models and lots of ammo. Some even bring tanks, military vehicles with mounted weapons, and artillery guns. The range reaches out to approximately 300 yards.
